Gym 1 focused solely on the first four [[Kanto]] Gym Leaders ([[Brock]], [[Misty]], [[Lt. Surge]], and [[Erika]]). Because of this, there were no {{ct|Psychic}} Pokémon in the set, and very few {{ct|Fire}}s. [[Wizards of the Coast]], when releasing the English translations, mixed in some cards from Gym 2 to increase the type coverage. | ||

*A number of cards were exclusive to Theme Decks in Japan. These "fixed" cards are inherently rarer than those released through the main set due to the lack of a rarity symbol. With the release of the English set, Wizards decided to give a number of them a Rare rarity. However, many players felt that a number of these cards, such as Misty's Tentacool, Misty's Goldeen and Brock's Zubat, were not given appropriate rarities, considering the simplistic abilities those cards had. These "common rares" created quite a stir in the Pokémon TCG community. By {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} however, Wizards decided to base the rarity of fixed cards on their game play abilities over their "fixed rarity" properties. | *A number of cards were exclusive to Theme Decks in Japan.
